TVTranscript
00:00I was born with heavy breasts and lush curves
00:02My half sister Chloe was afraid her mate Brad would go feral over me
00:06So she sold me to an impotent Alpha
00:10She patted my shoulder
00:14Who knows, maybe he's good at other things
00:18Three months later, I was begging for mercy every night
00:21Funny, he seemed good at everything
00:26Case Valerius, the Blackwood Pax Alpha
00:28The Lycan King's most trusted war commander
00:30He was carried back from the battlefield soaked in blood
00:33Someone suggested
00:34A mate bond shares life force
00:36If Alpha Case was bound to a living, healthy mate
00:39Her strength could flow into him and pull him back
00:42Chloe rushed to play matchmaker
00:43And presented me to Martha before I could object
00:45I had no way to refuse
00:47If I wouldn't agree, she'd transfer me to serve 60-year-old Elder Kevin
00:51I knew she resented my history with her mate
00:53I dropped to my knees and swore to the Moon Goddess
00:56I swear Chloe, I had no feelings for Brad
01:00Chloe jabbed a finger at my forehead, fury in her eyes
01:03What good is a vow?
01:05Do you have any idea how distracting you are?
01:07I hunched my shoulders
01:09Tears slid down my cheeks
01:10Just look at that ample body and those charming curves
01:14Parading your body in front of every male in the clan
01:17Who among them would not lose their minds at the smell of you?
01:20I wanted to tell her
01:21To bind my chest, I'd wrapped myself layer after layer in the sweltering heat
01:26Until I broke out in a rash
01:27Her expression softened
01:29She wiped my tears
01:31It's not that I don't trust you
01:32It's that I don't trust males
01:35Do you know how powerful Alpha Case is?
01:37If my mother and Martha weren't old friends
01:39You wouldn't even have this opportunity
01:42Chloe, I don't want to be anyone's offering
01:44I'd rather scrub kitchen floors
01:47Just don't make me
01:50Two sharp slaps landed across my face
01:53My cheek burned
01:54Leah, are you out of your mind?
01:56If I hadn't vouched for you
01:58Martha wouldn't have given you a second glance
02:00You wouldn't even be worthy of being Case's mate
02:03The maid burst in breathless
02:05Miss Chloe, word from the Valerius Estate
02:08Alpha Case has woken up
02:11Chloe dragged me straight to Valerius Estate
02:13Enormous
02:14I followed her through the main hall to a set of heavy double doors pulled half shut
02:18Through the gap, I could make out a man's shape in the bed
02:20Thin, motionless
02:22Chest rattling with shallow coughs every few minutes
02:24Martha stood on our side, eyes red
02:26Thank you for everything you've done for Case
02:28I won't destroy a girl's future over it
02:31Chloe's eyes moved
02:32Quick and calculating
02:33This is Valerius
02:34The bond should still be completed
02:36Leah arrived the same day Case woke up
02:38That's the moon goddess guiding us
02:40Seal the bond properly
02:42Her life force will keep pulling him back toward health
02:44Before she could speak
02:45The healer Ella stepped out
02:47Expression tight
02:48Alpha Case has regained consciousness
02:50But an arrow struck his inner thigh during battle
02:55I'm afraid he will no longer be able to
02:57Unable to do what?
02:59He will no longer be able to get hard
03:00Martha's knees gave out
03:02I caught her before she hit the floor
03:04She looked up at me with hollowed eyes
03:06Leah
03:08Knowing this
03:09Are you still willing?
03:10Yes, she's been looking forward to it
03:12Chloe was already answering for me
03:14Of course she is
03:15She's just an omega with no prospects
03:17She should be grateful
03:19I didn't speak right away
03:20My mind went to my past
03:22There was a young wolf in the poor quarter behind our estate
03:25I first saw him through the fence gaps
03:28Thin wrists, hollow cheeks
03:30Hunched over a cracked bowl with nothing in it
03:32I started passing food through the gaps
03:34Bread first
03:35Then soup
03:36Then whatever I had
03:37Day after day
03:39I watched him change
03:40The hollows in his cheeks filled out
03:42His shoulders broadened
03:44He started training before dawn
03:46Running laps around the back wall
03:48While I was still half asleep
03:49He was going to enter the warrior trials
03:51I knew it before he told me
03:53When he passed
03:53I went to find him that same night
03:55I was happy
03:56I remember it clearly
03:57I was genuinely happy
03:58I knocked on the gate
03:59He didn't open it
04:00His voice came
04:01Leah
04:01I'm betrothed now
04:03It wouldn't be proper
04:04Then a soft thud in the dirt at my feet
04:05A pouch of silver
04:06Consider my debt repaid
04:07I stood there for a moment
04:09Then I picked it up and walked away
04:11That wolf became Chloe's mate
04:12Brad
04:14I acted like I'd never known him
04:16Chloe found out anyway
04:18I snapped back to reality
04:19I gathered my skirts and knelt in front of Martha
04:22My lady
04:24I'm willing
04:24I'll complete the bond
04:26Care for Case
04:27And serve you as long as you need me
04:29Luna
04:30Martha kept her word
04:31And prepared a dignified mating dress for me
04:33Chloe deliberately chose a day
04:35When Brad was away on pack business
04:36To send me off
04:37She walked me to the door
04:38Guilt on her face
04:40Even though Case can't get hard
04:42At least you'll be spared
04:43The pain of bearing pups
04:45Don't worry
04:46An alpha who can't perform in that area
04:48Is probably exceptional in every other
04:50Honestly
04:51None of what Chloe said
04:52Had even crossed my mind
04:54I told myself
04:55I was simply moving to a new household
04:57Case was too weak to stand through
04:59The full mate blessing ritual
05:00I completed the bond rites
05:02Beside his ceremonial sword instead
05:04Martha watched from the front
05:06Eyes wet the whole time
05:07When it was done
05:09I was alpha Case's mate
05:11The mating chamber was quiet
05:13I pushed the door open carefully
05:15Case was already inside
05:17Half reclined against the headboard
05:19In a white bathrobe
05:20He turned when he heard me
05:21Up close
05:22He was strikingly handsome
05:23Sharp jaw
05:25Dark eyes
05:26The kind of face
05:27That didn't need color in it
05:28To hold attention
05:29I had no intention
05:30Of taking a mate
05:31He said with a low voice
05:33If it doesn't trouble you
05:34We can treat this
05:35As a sibling arrangement
05:37He pointed to the chaise
05:38Along the far wall
05:40Tonight the bed is yours
05:42I'll take that
05:43Tomorrow you move
05:44To the guest quarters
05:45Alright
05:46I nodded
05:46He had thought of everything
05:48It wasn't what I'd expected
05:50Before the ritual
05:51One of the older maids
05:52Had pulled me aside
05:53And pressed something
05:54Into my hands
05:55A small handbook
05:56Worn at the corners
05:58She'd whispered
05:59With a strange look
06:00There are other ways
06:01Between mates
06:02You might find it useful
06:04I had no idea
06:05What she meant
06:05Until I opened it
06:06Heat pooled in my core
06:08Just from looking
06:09At the pages
06:10Is it too hot?
06:12Case was watching me
06:13From the bed
06:13Eyes direct
06:15Unblinking
06:16The dress is heavy
06:17I'm a little warm
06:20Then wash up and rest
06:22He pulled the blanket
06:22Over himself
06:23And turned toward the wall
06:24Within minutes
06:25His breathing evened out
06:26I set the handbook
06:28Down on the vanity
06:28And took down my hair
06:30Then the layered robes
06:31Piece by piece
06:32Until I was standing
06:33In nothing but my nightgown
06:35I turned to the mirror
06:36The thin fabric
06:37Clung to every curve
06:39Heavy breasts
06:40Straining against the cloth
06:41Slim waist
06:42Giving way to the flare
06:43Of my hips
06:43I walked straight
06:45Into Case's gaze
06:46He wasn't asleep
06:47His chest rose hard
06:49The tips of his ears
06:50Went red
06:50His throat worked
06:52As he swallowed
06:53I grabbed my outer robe
06:54And pressed it
06:55Against my chest
06:56Alpha
06:57I thought you were asleep
06:58A long pause
07:00I could sleep later
07:02My breath hitched
07:04He rose slowly to his feet
07:06His tall frame
07:07Casting a shadow over me
07:18The handbook's images
07:19Came flooding in
07:20My breathing shifted
07:21Without me meaning it to
07:22Somehow falling into
07:23The same rhythm as his
07:25Then Case turned
07:26And walked to the door
07:27The moment cool night air
07:29Rushed in
07:29I snapped back to my senses
07:30He'd already disappeared
07:32Into the darkness
07:33I turned it over
07:34In my mind
07:35When he'd looked at me
07:36Just now
07:37His eyes had flashed
07:39With something unmistakably
07:40Like shock
07:40Had my figure
07:42Actually frightened him
07:43Before I lay down
07:44I made a firm decision
07:45Tomorrow morning
07:46I was binding my chest
07:48At least one full loop tighter
07:49I was hovering somewhere
07:51Between sleep and waking
07:52When Case slipped back in
07:54The tips of his hair
07:55Still beaded with water
07:56He'd apparently gone to shower
07:57By morning he was already gone
07:59Ivy came in to help me dress
08:01From the corridor outside
08:03Came the sound of a man
08:04Once
08:05Then again
08:07Martha's headmaid's voice
08:08Carried clearly through the door
08:10Alpha Case
08:11Why didn't you call someone
08:12To heat the water
08:13It's already summer
08:15But the nights are still cold
08:16Of course you've caught a chill
08:18I'll go brew tea right now
08:19I glanced at Ivy
08:21Does the alpha usually take cold showers
08:23I honestly don't know miss
08:25I dismissed her and locked the door
08:27I wound a strip of cloth
08:29Tight over my undergarments
08:30Then pulled on the most conservative dress
08:32I could find in the wardrobe
08:34High neck
08:35Loose cut
08:36Heavy fabric
08:37Then I went to living room
08:39Case was already there when I arrived
08:41Seated beside Martha
08:42She lit up the moment she saw me
08:44Her whole face warm with welcome
08:46Until Case coughed
08:48And the warmth vanished instantly
08:50Cage
08:51I have a few private words for Leah
08:53Go rest for a while
08:55Case rose and left without a word
08:56Martha waved me over
08:58And took both my hands in hers
09:00Eyes glistening
09:02Sweet girl
09:03Our Case is lucky to have you
09:08The pack healer says
09:09The injury drained his life force
09:11There's no telling how long he has left
09:14Some of the elders suggested
09:15I find a child for him to adopt
09:17To carry on the bloodline
09:21But if I did that
09:23Wouldn't I be stealing your whole future from you?
09:26I'm already grateful you came into this family to save Case
09:30I can't let you sacrifice the rest of your life on top of that
09:33I've thought it through
09:34If Case's time does come
09:35I'll have him issue you a formal mate release
09:38Your future stays protected
09:40And I'll see to it that you receive property
09:42And a place of your own
09:43I reached up and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes
09:46Chest tight with an ache I couldn't name
09:49Mrs. Valerius
09:50Thank you for looking out for me
09:52I'd come here thinking of myself as nothing more than a transferred Omega servant
09:56I never imagined she would think this far ahead on my behalf
09:59My thoughts drifted to the mother I had never known
10:01If she had been alive
10:02If I had grown up under a mother's protection
10:04I never would have ended up in any of the situations I'd been through
10:08Martha laughed through her tears
10:10Look at me, I've gone and made you cry too
10:13She squeezed my hands
10:14Leah, there's no need to be so formal
10:16Call me mom, just like Case does
10:19She took a breath
10:20So, I have a proposition for you
10:22Chloe mentioned you know how to prepare medicinal soups
10:25I'd like you to take over Case's daily meals and care
10:28I just want him to live a little longer
10:30That's my one selfish wish
10:32By the end, her voice had gone rough
10:34I nodded
10:35I headed to the kitchen to gather ingredients
10:37The last time I'd prepared medicinal soup was several years ago
10:40Back when Brad was not yet Chloe's mate
10:42He'd lost both parents and lived alone in a run-down unit
10:46Skipping meals to save every cent for his warrior training
10:50One day I found him collapsed at our back gate and brought him around
10:53Out of sympathy, I dug through my mother's old healer journals
10:56And prepared medicinal meals for him every day to rebuild his strength
11:00Only the two of us ever knew about it
11:02From the looks of things, he was the one who told Chloe
11:05Just to get me driven out
11:07The lengths he had gone to were truly something
11:10I carried the steaming soup to the bedroom
11:12And found Case directing servants to pack up his belongings
11:17Alpha, what's this about?
11:19Weren't we agreed that I was moving the guest room?
11:20His sharply handsome face didn't shift so much as a fraction
11:24I have fewer things
11:26It makes more sense for me to move
11:27At least eat first
11:29I set the food on the table
11:30He gave it a brief glance and sat down
11:35You can leave this kind of thing to the maid from now on
11:37It's no different coming from me
11:41It is different
11:42His voice remained flat and cool
11:45Have Ivy bring it from now on
11:47He finished the soup in a few quick swallows
11:49Said a few words to his servants and swept past me
11:53In that moment, I confirmed one thing
11:55Alpha Case couldn't stand the sight of me
11:58I followed his instructions and had Ivy deliver his daily healing meals to the study from then on
12:03Martha couldn't stop singing my praises
12:05The pack healer says Case's condition has stabilized significantly
12:09I can see the color coming back to his face
12:11Leah, that's entirely because of you
12:14Delighted, she pressed a gold bracelet into my hands
12:17Back in my room, I tucked it into my jewelry box
12:20Which had been slowly filling with pieces Martha had gifted me since my arrival
12:24Leah, you never wear any of these
12:27Isn't it a waste to just put them away?
12:29How is it a waste?
12:31Every one of these can be converted to cash
12:33That's my security fund
12:35But Lady Martha gave these to you personally
12:37Are you really going to sell all of them?
12:39Not right now
12:40But if the mate bond is ever severed
12:42Naturally, I'd sell them and keep the money on hand
12:44Ivy's expression shifted to pure bewilderment
12:48As she turned away, she dropped her voice to a murmur
12:51Alpha
12:54Alpha?
12:55I spun around and met a pair of ink-dark eyes
12:58Martha's eyesight must truly be failing her
13:00Case looked worse than ever
13:02Case's face was even paler than before
13:04His gaze was sharp and cutting
13:07Fixed on me with cold precision
13:08The look unsettled me completely
13:11But I didn't dare let a single trace of it show
13:15Alpha, is there something you need?
13:17A journal
13:18We looked together
13:19I checked the shelves
13:21He checked the writing desk
13:22Neither of us spoke
13:23I spotted the journal
13:25Pushed to the very back of the top shelf
13:26Behind a row of my mother's medical notes
13:29I reached up on my toes
13:30My fingertips just grazed the cover
13:33Case's hand came over mine
13:34Warm, steady
13:36He reached past me without effort
13:38And closed his hand around the journal
13:40I turned my head
13:41His face was right there
13:43Closer than I'd realized
13:44He was looking down at me
13:47Then I lost my footing
13:48And pitched straight into him
13:50My heavy breasts hit his chest first
13:52My waist went straight into his palm
13:54His hand catching me before he could react
13:57Case didn't step back
13:58His eartips went red
14:00His throat worked as he swallowed
14:02When he exhaled
14:03The breath came out uneven
14:04Against the top of my head
14:06His eyes flashed gold for a second
14:08Then green
14:10I scrambled upright
14:11Face burning
14:13Your journal
14:13He took it without a word
14:15And walked out
14:15Perfect
14:16My standing in his eyes
14:18Had just sunk even lower
14:19After that day
14:20I made every effort
14:21To avoid crossing paths with Case
14:23He was injured and recovering
14:24He needed to stay calm
14:26But there was one more thing bothering me
14:28Brad had been sending notes
14:29Three times already
14:31I hadn't opened a single one
14:33Just dropped them in a box
14:34Then Ivy pressed one into my hand that morning
14:36It's not just a note this time
14:38He's here
14:39Side entrance
14:40Says he won't leave until you come out
14:41I clenched my fist and walked out
14:43I didn't notice the figure that followed
14:45From the far end of the courtyard
14:46Brad was standing at the gate
14:49Leah
14:49You finally came
14:51You should be calling me Mrs. Valerius
14:53He paused
14:54Dropped his voice
14:56Mrs. Valerius
14:57Do you have any idea how many times
14:59You've put me in an impossible position
15:01With these meetings
15:02I know
15:03I just wanted to tell you
15:06I'll be securing more power in the pack
15:08Soon I won't need Chloe's father
15:10Backing me anymore
15:11He stepped closer
15:12I'll buy a house Leah
15:13Come with me
15:15Anything's better than staying with a dying man
15:17He reached for me
15:18I stepped back
15:20You want me as your mistress?
15:23Brad nodded
15:23Completely serious
15:25I laughed
15:26Why would I give up being the Alpha's mate
15:28To be your mistress?
15:29The whole pack knows Case is dying
15:31He won't last
15:33And he can't even stand up anymore
15:35His eyes dropped deliberately to my chest
15:38Isn't that a waste?
15:41Disgust surged through me
15:42Brad
15:44I will never be anyone's mistress
15:46Case fought on the front lines for this pack
15:49Those injuries are his honor
15:52You've benefited from every battle he won
15:54And you're standing here calling him less of a man
15:58You're the one who's less
16:01Come near me again
16:02And every note you've sent goes straight to Chloe
16:04How do you think that ends for you?
16:08His face went white
16:09I swung the gate shut
16:11I turned around and came face to face with Case
16:13White t-shirt
16:14Standing less than half a foot away
16:16His full height bearing down on me
16:17Alpha
16:18I managed
16:18A faint edge flickered across his expression
16:21Wasn't it my mate just a moment ago?
16:23Why so formal all of a sudden?
16:25I looked down and started walking
16:29Please don't misunderstand
16:30As long as I'm in this estate
16:31I honor this bond
16:32Completely
16:33Fast
16:34It's getting late
16:35I should go make your evening meal
16:36I moved to step past him
16:38His hand closed around my arm
16:40I lost my footing and pitched straight into him
16:42My heavy breasts against his chest
16:43My waist caught in his grip
16:45I looked up
16:46His face was inches from mine
16:48His eyes were deep and unreadable
16:50One tilt forward and our lips would have touched
16:52His breath hit my face
16:54Warm
16:55My breath hitched
16:56Heat pooled low in my core
16:59Case swallowed hard
17:01As long as I remain in this estate
17:03Each word slow
17:05Deliberate
17:06You counting down the days
17:07Until you can leave?
17:08I couldn't exactly tell him
17:10I'll leave the day you die
17:12No
17:13Nothing like that
17:14I shifted in his grip
17:15Alpha, you're hurting my arm
17:17Did you mean every word you said just now?
17:20I blinked and asked which part
17:22He let out a quiet breath and released me
17:24I bolted
17:26And I noticed
17:27For the first time
17:28His face had actual color in it
17:30His cheeks were just as red as mine
17:33That night I had a strange dream
17:36Case's lips grazed slowly along my cheek
17:38His fingers hooked into the strap of my slip
17:41Voice dropping to a low murmur
17:43Does my Luna want this?
17:45I nodded like someone completely under a spell
17:48Then a fierce, consuming kiss caught my lips and wouldn't let go
17:51I jolted awake in a tangle of sheets
17:54Heart still hammering
17:55Breathless
17:57Ivy knocked and came in
17:59I asked her to bring a basin of cold water
18:01She stared at my sweat damp hair and murmured
18:03It really is getting hotter
18:05I splashed cold water onto my face
18:07And then it hit me
18:08That first night
18:10Case
18:10Cold shower
18:12Surely he hadn't also been
18:14No
18:16Impossible
18:16He was injured and recovering
18:18He was supposed to be keeping himself calm
18:20At midday, Martha's attendant arrived
18:22Martha would like dinner in the garden tonight
18:24She asks that you be sure to come
18:27Been making excuses to avoid the main dining hall for days
18:30Just to steer clear of Case
18:31But Martha had gone out of her way to personally extend the invitation
18:34I couldn't say no
18:36I stepped into the garden
18:37A sprawling rose of Sharon was in full bloom
18:40A gust of wind shook loose a handful of deep crimson petals
18:43Drifting down onto the stone table
18:45Covered with every dish I loved most
18:48Martha smiled and gestured for me to sit
18:50Case mentioned it's your birthday today
18:52He's the one who asked the kitchen to prepare all of this
18:55I looked up and met a pair of burning, intent eyes
18:58Heat rushed straight to my face
19:01Case lit a plate of chestnut cake in front of me
19:03Without changing his expression
19:06How did you know today was my birthday?
19:08I'd completely forgotten it myself
19:10My birth mother died bringing me into the world
19:12No one had ever once marked the day for me
19:16Case kept his eyes lowered and said evenly
19:19It's not difficult to know it
19:20Something in my chest gave one quiet, inexplicable pull
19:25Leah, this peach blossom wine is from my private reserve
19:28I'm opening it just for you
19:30But you two had better not drink too much
19:33She pushed back her chair
19:34Said the summer evening breeze was too much for her old bones
19:37And left
19:38The garden went quiet
19:40To avoid the silence, I put my head down and drank
19:43One cup, then another, then another
19:45The wine was sweet and dangerously potent
19:49Before long, the edges of everything had gone soft and blurry
19:53Case watched me but said nothing
19:54By the third glass, I'd stopped feeling the awkward silence
19:58By the fourth, I'd stopped feeling much of anything
20:01I reached across the table toward the last piece of chestnut cake
20:04The dish was empty
20:06I looked up
20:08Where's the last piece?
20:09I ate it
20:10I have absolutely no idea where the boldness came from
20:13I leaned straight toward his face
20:17Who told you to eat that?
20:19Spit it back out
20:20I pressed against his chest, trying to peer into his mouth
20:22Case looked down at me, perfectly calm
20:25You won't find it that way
20:27I straightened up and stared at him
20:29Then how am I supposed to find it?
20:31A faint flush crept across his cheeks
20:33Try using your mouse
20:35My gaze drifted to his slightly reddened lips
20:38I swallowed once
20:40And kissed him without hesitation
20:42Case went rigid
20:43His breathing lurching unsteady
20:45Then control shifted
20:46His hand cupped the back of my head
20:49And he pressed in deeper
20:50Harder
20:51Neither of us pulled away
20:53Until footsteps sounded from behind the flower bed
20:56Alpha, the night air is cool
20:59Lady Martha asked me to bring you both a wrap
21:01I had no idea how much Ivy'd seen
21:04I shot to my feet
21:05And the next instant the world tilted
21:07Everything went dark
21:11When I woke up with a splitting headache
21:13It was already morning
21:14I suddenly remembered
21:15I'd promised Martha to visit Case's father's grave
21:19It was late
21:20I started rushing around for my things
21:24Leah, don't worry
21:26The driver is still getting the car ready
21:29Ivy, was it you who brought me back last night?
21:32No
21:33The Alpha carried you back
21:36I spun around to check her face
21:38She nodded, completely serious
21:41I didn't say anything stupid, did I?
21:44Ivy bid back a smile
21:46The Alpha set you down on the bed
21:49And you grabbed his sleeve and wouldn't let go
21:51You kept calling him my mate
21:53Over and over
21:55Until his whole face went red
21:58Ivy, don't you dare make things up
22:01She covered her mouth, laughing, and ran out
22:05I met Martha at the front entrance
22:07Case's father's grave was on a hillside
22:09Just beyond the pack territory
22:12I sat in the back of the car
22:13Completely distracted
22:15Replaying the moment I'd kissed Case last night
22:18Martha must have misread my expression
22:20Because she said
22:22Leah
22:23Is there someone you have feelings for?
22:28I've noticed you've been avoiding Case these past few days
22:32Please don't be upset with me for pushing you two together at dinner last night
22:36I thought if the two of you couldn't be mates
22:39You could at least be friends
22:40But if you're uncomfortable
22:41Or if you want to leave
22:43Just say
22:44I'll have him sever the bond
22:46I won't let you be trapped here
22:47Mom, no
22:48No, it's not that
22:50I was thinking about something else
22:52What is it?
22:53I was still figuring out how to answer when the car lurched
22:55The engine screamed
22:56The car swung hard
22:58Tires off the road
22:59Crashing through brush
23:00The whole frame shaking
23:01I grabbed Martha and looked at the driver
23:04Slumped over the wheel
23:05Unconscious
23:06No one to hit the brakes
23:08A cliff
23:09Straight ahead
23:09Martha grabbed my arm
23:11Leah
23:12What do we do?
23:13We jump
23:14Now
23:14We'll be hurt
23:16We'll die if we don't
23:17Hold on to me
23:18I wrapped myself around her
23:19And we threw ourselves clear
23:20The instant the wheels left solid ground
23:22We hit the cliff edge
23:24And went over
23:24My hand shot out
23:26And caught a root
23:26Jutting from the rock face
23:27My other hand locked around Martha's wrist
23:29Below her was a straight drop
23:31Into nothing
23:33Mom
23:34Don't look down
23:35Don't look down
23:36Hold on to me
23:37Ivy and the others are right behind us
23:39Behind us in the second car
23:41They'll be here soon
23:43The root ground under our weight
23:46Martha's voice broke
23:48Leah
23:49Let me go
23:51We're too heavy
23:53It's going to snap
23:57I'm old
23:58I've lived my life
24:00You have to keep living yours
24:04My chest tightened so hard
24:06I could barely breathe
24:07I couldn't let go
24:09She'd been a mother to me
24:11From the first day
24:13Mom
24:14I would rather die with you
24:16Than watch you fall
24:17Hold on
24:22They're coming
24:24The truth was
24:25I had no idea
24:26My arms were going numb
24:28The pain had gone so deep
24:31It had stopped feeling like pain at all
24:33Then I heard it
24:36A wolf's howl split the air
24:39Deafening
24:39And close
24:41Leah
24:42Don't move
24:44I'm coming down
24:45Case's voice
24:46He'd called me by my name
24:48The first time
24:51A strong arm came under me
24:53He'd climbed down the cliff face
24:56Wolf claws dug into the rock
24:58He untied the rope from his own body
25:01And looped it around my waist
25:03Then climbed down further
25:05And did the same for Martha
25:07The people above pulled together
25:09We came up one at a time
25:11It wasn't a hallucination
25:13Case had saved us
25:15He held me
25:17Brow creased
25:20Why is there so much blood?
25:22Martha clutched her face
25:24She shielded me when we jumped
25:27I didn't get a scratch
25:30It's all hers
25:32My eyelids felt like lead
25:35Leah
25:36Don't sleep
25:37I'm taking you to Ella
25:38He lifted me into the car
25:40And I stayed curled against his chest
25:43His forehead was damp with sweat
25:45He kept one hand on the wheel
25:48And kept talking
25:48Leah
25:49Leah
25:50Leah
25:51Leah
25:51Stay awake
25:53I'll get you chestnut cake
25:55I'll give you all the jewelry you want to sell
25:57You don't have to wait for me to die
25:58I'll write the bond release today
26:00You can leave whenever you want
26:02My chest kept clenching
26:04Something wet hit my face
26:06I looked up at the sky through the windshield
26:09It wasn't raining
26:10I'm going to leave you to the sky
26:10I'm going to leave you to the sky
26:10I'm going to leave you to the sky
26:10I'm going to leave you to the sky
26:10شكرا
